Winnie thinks she has the perfect life.
Two beautiful, healthy children. A police officer husband. A job that she loves. Oh, and let’s not forget that she’s a nationally ranked marathon runner.
Fast forward six months, and her perfect life has imploded.
Winnie finds herself in a completely new world, and this new world is a brutal bitch.
In this new life of hers, her husband is gone. He realizes, at the worst possible time, that he’s no longer in love with her. He’s in love with her best friend. So he leaves, and doesn’t look back.
Her sixteen-year-old daughter is in trouble with the law, and she’s barely making ends meet thanks to losing the job that was keeping her and her tiny family afloat.
Then, the last thing that could make it all bearable, her running, is ripped out from under her, too. Thanks to a spinal stroke that leaves her unable to walk, let alone run, she’s having to relearn how to do the simplest of tasks—such as putting on her own pants.
She’s at the lowest of lows, and the last thing she wants is a sexy, bearded, motorcycle riding alpha to tell her how to live her life.
But Steel Cross never asks her what she wants.
***
The moment Steel Cross sees Winnie’s daughter steal some shoes for her younger brother, he knows he’s in trouble.
He’s a sucker for misunderstood teens. After all, he was once one himself.
He knows he can’t just walk away, and the moment he sees that troubled teen’s mother, he doesn’t just know it, he feels it. Down to the very bottom of his soul.
With his share of hard knocks, he knows that he shouldn’t step in and make his move on a fellow police officer’s ex. There’s a code, after all, yet he just can’t seem to help himself.
He’s done being the good guy. Sometimes he just wants to be bad.
And Winnie makes him realize that being bad is still kind of good. As long as you’re with the right person.
MY REVIEW FOR LAW & BEARD:
His name is Steel Cross. Let me say it again people. Big Papa's real name is Steel freaking Cross. Could there ever be a more bada** name in all the literary world than that? I surely cannot think of one. And of course, Lani Lynn Vale would be the one to give it. To someone who's road name is Big Papa no less. Let's just say that BP lives up to his name on both accounts. In every sense of every word.
I have been fascinated with Big Papa since I first was introduced to him in Aaron's book, when I saw how he stepped up after Stone's death- both to lead the Police Department and the Dixie Wardens. It took quite a man to fill those kind of shoes, and BP was able to do it beautifully. He was such an genuine man, always standing behind his brothers, always being there 100% for his son, and being one of the most fierce law enforcement officers you'd ever hope to have in your corner. However, lucky in love he was not. BP had come across his fair share of lemons in the lady department, and I was scared that he was just never going to find what his fellow brethren had.
Until Winnie came along. All of the sudden, he has this new neighbor that he's finding himself pretty heavily attracted to, actually finding that she's the most beautiful woman to have ever graced his vision. But there are a few hiccups along Winnie and BP's way of course, because no romance is ever smooth sailing. A douchebag ex for her- a money hungry one for him, a daughter of hers that can't seem to stay out of trouble, and just the everyday Lani Lynn drama and suspense that comes along in a Vale book, keeps these two from being all peaches and cream. But, when they finally do get their shot- it is SO worth it. They make magic. It is beautiful, and hot and everything you could ever want for Big Papa if you love him as much as I do. Every ounce of happiness that you could have ever wished for him, and Winnie too once you meet her, they get. In spades. While theirs may not have been the most conventional of romances, it was no less fantastic, and no less amazing. I loved every word, and it left me aching for me Dixie Warden books, because it guts me to ever think of having to say goodbye to these guys. They pull you in so well, and you immediately fall for every one of them. So, Law & Beard, just like every other LLV book I've read, gets a well deserved 5 stars from me!!!
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
